Breitling watches are among some of the most well respected, dependable and desired timepieces on the planet and off of it too, as the company have a long history of producing high-quality, precise timepieces, both for the luxury and aviation markets.
The Breitling Navitimer 01 Limited Edition
Their certified chronometers, each of which undergoes COSC testing, are exclusively Swiss, with all models being manufactured in Switzerland with high grade Swiss components guaranteeing you a timepiece of the highest quality that has been assembled with a meticulous attention to detail.
One of the most famous of the Breitling watches is the Breitling Navitimer, which has become a favourite timepiece for pilots all over the world. The new inclusion of the slide rule rotating bezel was specifically aimed at pilots, as the feature can aid in navigation. This model is not only popular with pilots, though, as collectors with an interest in aviation and history may also be drawn towards this unique watch thanks to its connection with the world of aviation.
A variation of the Navitimer, with a 24 hour clock as opposed to a 12 hour clock, was worn by Scott Carpenter during his 1962 space flight. This makes the Breitling Navitimer one of the few timepieces to have left our atmosphere and enter space, an achievement that few other watch manufacturers can lay claim to.
Breitling watches are known for innovation and practicality, and the Breitling Emergency represents this well. It contains a radio transmitter broadcasting on the 121.5 MHz distress frequency. So in addition to being a quality, precise timepiece, your Breitling watch may even prove to be indispensible in an emergency situation. What better reason to invest?
